Abstract:
Introducción. La torsión testicular (TT) es una urgencia uro-pediátrica que puede conllevar la pérdida de la gónada afectada si no se instaura rápidamente un tratamiento de reperfusión. Tradicionalmente, se ha realizado la detorsión testicular en quirófano seguida de orquidopexia bilateral.

Introduction. Testicular torsion (TT) is a uro-pediatric emergency that can result in the loss of the affected gonad if reperfusion treatment is not promptly established. Testicular detorsion has been traditionally performed in the operating room followed by bilateral orchidopexy.
Objectives. To assess whether the performance of the manual detorsion (MD) maneuver reduces testicular ischemia time compared to the surgical modality, substitutes urgent surgery for elective surgery and improves the prognosis of the affected teste. Methods. A cross-sectional retrospective observational study was conducted by reviewing the medical records of patients with a diagnosis of TT seen in the Pediatric Emergency Department of the Hospital General Universitario Dr. Balmis over a period of 8 years. A total number of 50 patients were included and divided into two groups depending on whether they initially underwent manual detorsion (group 1) or direct surgical detorsion (group 2). MD was considered successful after verifying immediate pain relief, testicular descent and normal doppler flow. Data were analyzed using Mann- Whitney U and Chi-square tests.
Results. The MD maneuver was attempted in 20% (n=10) of the patients (group 1), which was effective in 80% of the cases. In 85.71% of the patients in whom it was successful, bilateral orchidopexy was performed electively in a mean period of 330.71 minutes after MD and no episodes of retorsion were observed during the waiting time until the intervention. Statistically significant differences were found when comparing the mean testicular ischemia times of groups 1 and 2 (p<0.001), which were 40.40 and
150.18 minutes respectively. 22% of patients with TT required orchiectomy, all of them belonging to group 2. The proportion of orchiectomies performed in patients with a total testicular ischemia time of less than 6 hours (n=25) was 8%, whereas in those with ischemia times longer than that duration (n=25) it was 36% (p=0.017).
Conclusions. The DM maneuver is highly effective in decreasing testicular ischemia time when applied immediately after the diagnosis of TT, so it is reasonable to perform it in all cases of TT along with elective bilateral orchidopexy.
